Nothing is more evergreen than food. But the question is, can you eat a poem? Eve Merriam seems to think so. In this sixth week of programming we discussed “How to Eat A Poem” and what “eating” a poem means, before students wrote about the real, edible foods that are near and dear to them.

I pick up the fork
I am at a table, and the waitress gives me the buttery smooth pasta.
I can smell the butter and marinara sauce.
I take a bite….
The smoothness feels amazing the butter was not a lot not a little it was just right.
And the marinara sauce was nearly the best part.
I take a deep breath in and close my eyes and say “Greece you are perfect.”
Disney Cruise by Tristan M.
The sky is blue
I feel brand new
In my swim shorts in the 6 ft pool
Swimming with my brother
And the friends we made
Eating breakfast
Lunch
And dinner
Seeing jack sparrow
Seeing fireworks
Going on a huge water slide
Around the whole ship
Hope i go back again
to the disney cruise
GRILLED ONIONS AND ICE TEA by Mason H.
A beautiful afternoon in Chicago
Loud as usual
Walked into the hibachi restaurant
It’s quiet
Too Quiet
A chef walked up to me
He had some grilled onions
Clank goes the plate
I eat it
My taste buds are dancing
That was my discovery of grilled onions
Tasted really good together
Sushi by Milton L.
Packed in like a suitcase
So many flavors you can try
Maybe it will be your new favorite food.
Give it a try.
So many things you can have with it.
Take a stop at Chinatown

Pizza by Tyfayn S.
Last week we had pizza
And it was in triangles
And my mom grandma and sister.
